Durlag's Tower (a little spoilerish)

I decided to just walk right up to Durlag's Tower, rather than take the tour offered in Ulgoth's Beard. I didn't feel I was high enough level when I was visiting Ulgoth's Beard, so I did a ton more quests, and walked up to the Tower on my own after escaping from the prison in Candlekeep.

Anyway, am I missing out on anything by not taking the tour? I'm still at a point where I could just walk out of the tower and get back to Ulgoth's Beard for the tour.

TIA.

I think, and don't quote me on this
Spoiler

if you take the tour you enter into a public chamber and talk with some people then a demon appears and spells havok for those around. Kind of neat. You can go back to Ulgoths beard and still take the tour. Like I said, I could be wrong, but I thin thats how I did it last time through.

i think you have to do the tour to get the rune stone off the guy that gets flamed by the final demon guy. or he might survive and give it to you before he runs away. i dont remember. anyway , i think you need the tour

I don't think the tour is manditory, I've bben told it is'nt before but Like I said there is a little plot development there.

The tour is not mandatory, although you do get Ike giving you some background and info on the Tower, as well as a cool scene where the Demon Knight turns up and vapourises the tourists. Made me laugh.

Also, you can claim Ike's rune stone off his body. This is required to get deeper into the Tower (but I can't remember exactly where/which level).

Cheers,

I don't think the tour affects the tower but its quite ammusing. The tourists set of the traps and then the demonknight turns up and scorched Ike. However make sure you have Hurgan Stoneblades quest for the dagger. Its the main start of the quest and really leads on to the Tanar'ri. (a fun fight).
